From T-shirt oddities to T-shirt perfection. According to the calendar,  it’s been spring since March 20, but now that the weather says so, too (after a few false starts), we can officially celebrate T-shirt season! And while Generation T is all about T-shirt transforming/refashioning/upcycling/surgery and general reuse of materials that you already have, we can also totally get behind that oh-so-rare gem: the perfect T-shirt. There is most certainly a T-shirt or two in my closet that has come to achieve that level of well-worn perfection and flawless fit–and I wouldn’t think of tarnishing that perfection with a pair of scissors. There’s the thrifted turquoise T-shirt from the Golden Nugget in Las Vegas (that I picked up at a Goodwill in Honolulu); the soft, white hand-me-down Alternative Apparel tee from my sister; or the American Apparel V-neck that, I admit, I bought in two colors–they fit me really well and go with oh-so-many other items in my closet. So what’s your favorite basic T-shirt? Here are some of this season’s best according to and courtesy of Jane Flanagan over at the Readymade blogs:
